Some are committed to turning public spaces into 24/7 homeless shelters, which is reinforcing the public view that we're all just losers asking for handouts. I'm getting kind of sick of it honestly. We who make up the 99% are more than just homeless people. The occupy tactic is counterproductive.

And back to Naomi's suggestion....yes, we know we can use public space to protest a few hours at a time, there was never any confusion on that

Eviction of the camps was the best thing that could've happened. They had devolved into filthy homeless camps attracting laptop thieves and sexual predators (save the indignant speech). The public support disappeared.

It should've always been marches, direct actions, and political pressure.

All things Hunger Games seem to be taboo to criticize. A good movie doesn't mean you had a perfect director. The story and actors were great to begin with.

I like to think of him as fired, because he screwed us on the extra footage. We could nitpick details, but most are critical on his use of shaky cam. Some other things I could point out, but that's another topic.

In the article I read, he really came across as a douche. He fully understood the fans wanted the extra footage (almost an hour he cut), but he considered it finished and that was that. He made it clear he was leaving it out of the DVD.

"Anarchy" in my opinion (and probably most) is the freedom of someone to come to your home and kill your family and take your stuff. If this isn't what you mean by "anarchy" then maybe use the word populism or democracy more, because "anarchy" isn't going to sell to John & Jane Doe.

(edit: if you're going to downvote this, at least take a stand and explain how anarchy doesn't include the freedom to kill and steal)

Because they are FDIC insured, and with a taxpayer backstop. This "hedge" label is misleading. (I'm a former risk manager / hedger ). This shit isn't hedging. They just take a position and then "hedge" it 10 to 1, just so they can call it a "hedge", but it's a trade/gamble.

Over the need for a place to put their money that also serves as an inflation hedge. People are stupid and think the president has some control over what commodity funds and traders are doing. I'm a former trader by the way.

You aren't going to sell them on the evidence standard that supports Occupy positions. Teabaggers are people who are highly religious, believe in creationism, and trickle down economic theory. They aren't interested in facts. Unsupported dogma is what works for them.

Remember when watching all the self indulgent self promotion he constructed in the behind the scenes footage, that he easily could've added the 45 min of deleted scenes, but he didn't. The Hunger Games we will never see, is locked away somewhere because of him.

Your homeless faction doesn't represent the 99% any more than the middle and upper middle class, and nice racist addition of "white" in there. I didn't mention race.

Unlike you, some of us are educated and productive, and part of the 99%. I will push for the middle and upper 99% as much as your dying little faction is pushing for the homeless. We all have the same goal, just different methods of getting there.

This isn't going to work as a liberal extremist movement. The fact is, most of the 99% are employed and moderate. Keep the name "occupy" if you want, but you don't represent the 99%.

This was about WALL STREET...getting money out of politics, increasing regulations, and fair taxation of corps and the 1%...and THAT IS WHAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SUPPORTS!!!....you're losing people with the left wing nonsense.

Go support homeless shelters if you want, but don't turn the people's movement into a narrow little cause.
